Here is the Adidas Kopanya 2009 Confederations Cup ball. This is an interesting and attractive design and this is the first time that Adidas have made a speciast ball for the Confederations Cup. The ball was first used in the annual Nelson Mandela challenge match where South Africa took on Cameroon.

The name “Kopanya” comes from Southern Sesotho and “Kopanya” is an official language spoken by around 5 million people throughout the rainbow nation and translated it quite literally means ”join together”.  It not just the name which is Africa either, the design was inspired by the artwork of the Ndebele people of South Africa. The strong and complex black shaped together with the vibrant colour make this design recognisable with the artwork of the  Ndebele people.
